Medical Plastics Market – Size, Share, Outlook, and
Opportunity Analysis, 2018 – 2026
Medical Plastics Market, by Product Type (Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polypropylene (PP),
Polyethylene (PE), Polystyrene (PS), Silicones, and Others), by Application (Drug
Delivery Devices, Implants, Syringes, Disposables, Catheters, Diagnostic Instruments, and
Surgical Instruments), and by Geography (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018
– 2026
Medical plastics are extensively used in thin tubes, disposable syringes, intravenous blood bags, or in
huge casing of an open MRI system. The use of plastics for the manufacturing of various disposable
medical devices have made health care simpler and less painful. Over the past few decades, plastics
have assumed a dramatically important role in modern medicine. Plastics have superior design
flexibility, as compared to metals, ceramics, and glass, therefore plastic can be processed into
innumerable sizes, shapes, thicknesses, and colors. Also, their properties can be tailored to meet a
wide spectrum of physical, mechanical, chemical, and biochemical requirements.
Various developments in high-performance polymers and the related advantages of plastics over
other materials have widened the opportunities of plastics in the healthcare sector. Polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) is commonly used in the development of class I medical devices. Medical devices
manufactured using polyvinyl chloride can be easily sterilized using methods such as ethylene oxide,
steam, or radiation. Different types of medical plastics present in the market include polyethylene
(PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), silicones, and others.

Medical Plastics Market – Dynamics
Increasing usage of medical devices in hospitals is driving growth of the medical plastics market.
Medical devices such as MRI plays a vital role in lab tests and clinical diagnostics for inner body
insights. Increasing use of imaging techniques such as MRI is likely to boost growth of the medical
plastics market. For instance, according to a report published in the National Health Services 2017,
around 41 million medical imaging tests were performed in England in 2017, of which 3.49 million
imaging tests took place in January 2017, where MRI was performed 0.28 million times.
